Through experiments with heavy-ion collisons at high energies we can study the properties of nuclear matter under extreme conditions. The information on the sizes of the particle-emitting sources can be inferred via the method of femtoscopy. The femtoscopy method uses Quantum Statistics effects and the Final State Interactions to determine the space-time properties of the source. The radii of the sources extracted from two-baryon femtoscopy along with those obtained from two-meson and meson-baryon correlations provide complementary information about the source characteristics. In this report we present recent STAR results of proton-proton, antiproton-antiproton and proton-antiproton correlation functions from Au+Au collisions at √sNN of 7.7 GeV, 11.5 GeV and 39 GeV.
